Just heard about you acquiring the Charlseton tea plantation when I got your catalog–there was celebration at our house. We’ve really missed our fix of American Classic Tea, makes the best sun tea ever. A big thank you to Lori for talking you into it. While it’s not actually true it’s the only place tea is grown in America, because I have ONE plant, the last survivor from 50 seeds I bought by mail from a gentleman in South Carolina many years ago, you certainly are the only ones to process it, and I hope you prosper and produce forever!
